Not content with tarnishing their brand with SuperFish malware, Lenovo have now been caught using a Rootkit laced into the BIOS to keep crapware installed on their Laptop and Desktop computers.

To me Lenovo computers and Motorola mobiles are to be considered extremely risky, and it will take a few years of them keeping their nose clean before I will consider them a serious brand.
